How to track an iPhone for less than 10 euros

Signals emitted by our mobile phones to connect with the telephony antennas can be intercepted and followed in a simple way. If you want to know how it is done, continue reading this tutorial. First, comment that this post is merely informative, we advise against using it entirely .

It is not as complicated as it seems. The USB doohickey is basically an antenna , which picks up signals as they pass between telephones and telephony antennas. The closer you are to the antenna, the more data you can intercept. The programs mentioned in the video are pretty good for sorting the incoming data.

The end result is a database of each phone that connects to the area, along with the phone ID, called IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) .

To be clear, this is not as powerful as Stingray devices than the police and other things we see on television, but it is somewhat simple and relatively easy to use. This is a homemade but safe version: it receives signals, but does not send them .

In a practical sense, this means that the device can track which phones are connected to a particular antenna, as long as it is active and within reach when the connection is made . What this USB does is send signals to all nearby phones fooling devices and making them believe that they are about telephony antennas.

If you can register the IMSI number of a particular person, you can even set an alert when that person connects to a particular tower , although you would need a permanent configuration near the telephone antenna and more advanced programming skills.

As you can see, it may be cheap and easy to do, but for an average user it would not make much sense to intercept signals , but people with advanced knowledge can do more complex things. It is also likely that if you get into these issues in depth you may have legal problems .

So what is the meaning of this post? To alert us to appreciate how easy it can be to intercept communications . It never hurts to take certain precautions to use our iPhone.
